LLEWXArt'S LETTER.

From Washington.

Philadelphia.
Good
Mrs. Cleveland is a trump.
This man Foraker has taken every
occasion Of late to abuse President
Cleveland, and by the use of the vii
famous epithets which he has applied
to the chief magistrate of our country
has proved himself to be dirty black
guard, unworthy of either the respect
or the association of decent people;
and l am heartily glad that Mrs.
Cleveland had the grit, and exercised
it, to give the small potato most ef-
fectual and notifying ''snub."
He got his deserts is more
than great many people get in this
world-and he ought not to complain.
But he does.
SHE REFUSED HIM HER HAND.
Several conflicting accounts regard
ing the matter have been published,
but the following explanation made
by Gen. Bushnell, member of Fora
ker's staff is probably correct:
preceded by Gov. Beaver, of Penn
sylvania, and lis staff, Gov. and Mrs.
Foraker and our party advanced to
be received. Governor Beaver and
party were warmly greeted by both
the President and Mrs. Cleveland,
who shook hands with them cordially.
President Cleveland then shook hands
with Gov. Foraker, but his face was
as expressionless as that Of a sphinx.
The Governor presented Mrs. For
aker, and the President shook hands
with her. Gov Foraker was then in
troduced to Mrs. Cleveland, and ex-
tended his hand to her. She paid no
attention to his rroffsred hand, but
taking half step backward and fold
ing her hands, she stared straight at
him without sign ofrecognition, APP
parently giving no heed to this direct
cut. The Governor presented Mrs.
Foraker. Mrs. Cleveland still stood
with folded hands, declining Mrs. For
aker's extended hand and acknowledge
ing her presence only by freezing
inclination of her head. Gen. Axline
and his wife were presented to the
President and Mrs. Cleveland, and
both shook hands with them, and i'm
mediately afterward Mrs. Bushnell and
myself were intoduced and received
in the same cordial manner.
THE cutEof Gov. and Mrs. Foraker
was made more direct by our recep-
ton than it would have been had Mrs.
Cleveland not shaken with the re-
mainder of the Ohio party 1t has
been stated that Mrs. Cleveland was
not shaking hands with any of her
guests, but that is a great mistake, for
she received both those who preceded
and those who followed Gov. and Mrs
Foraker very cordially"

nesaw and Western North Carolina
routes, Thursday. Oct 20, at 1 p, H.;
reach Washington Saturday, Oct. %
at a. m The party will pass
through Salisbury and Greensboro on
Friday, Oct. 81.
1t will be seen from the above that
if the President had been 50 inclined
he could have have arranged matters
so as to be in Raleigh on Thursday
Oct. 20, instead of visiting Montgom
cry and, even after visiting Mont
gomery, the last engagement he has tt
fill, he could, without at all interior
ing with this program, easily reacl
Raleigh Friday evening, or at the lat
est, Saturday morning of Fair week
To an ordinary mind, therefore, it il
apparent that his declination of oul
and inclinations than to any engage
ments which positively forbade its &C
ceptance.
